Shannon's daughter lives at the end of a world
Where nothing eases disappointed love
And it rains, it rains, on Ireland's meadows
And it rains, it rains, on Ireland's fields
And she sings to those who smile to her
Don't mock a girl who loves
Don't mock a girl who gives her heart
Don't mock a girl who is beautiful
Before time abandons her
Like a flower, she gives it all
Keeping her hope high
Don't mock a girl who gives everything
Shannon's daughter counts on a promise
Made in front of the fireplace, on a drunken night
And it rains, it rains, on the secret of moors
And it rains, it rains, on the legends and myths
And she sings to those who smile to her
Don't mock a girl who loves
Don't mock a girl who gives her heart
Don't mock a girl who is beautiful
Before time abandons her
Like a flower, she gives it all
Keeping her hope high
Don't mock a girl who gives everything
